<hr/><a name="details" id="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p><a class="el" href="a00019.html" title="Module to control the channel and handle all connection related stuff.">BaseConnectionManager</a> keeps track of the hosts (or better NICs) in range of another host (or better NIC). This information is needed by the <a class="el" href="a00029.html" title="The BasePhyLayer represents the physical layer of a nic.">BasePhyLayer</a> when it sends an AirFrame to the channel. To get this information <a class="el" href="a00029.html" title="The BasePhyLayer represents the physical layer of a nic.">BasePhyLayer</a> subclasses from <a class="el" href="a00053.html" title="Basic class for all physical layers, please don&#39;t touch!!">ConnectionManagerAccess</a>.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="a00053.html" title="Basic class for all physical layers, please don&#39;t touch!!">ConnectionManagerAccess</a> provides access for <a class="el" href="a00029.html" title="The BasePhyLayer represents the physical layer of a nic.">BasePhyLayer</a> to <a class="el" href="a00019.html" title="Module to control the channel and handle all connection related stuff.">BaseConnectionManager</a> and provides the current position of a NIC for <a class="el" href="a00019.html" title="Module to control the channel and handle all connection related stuff.">BaseConnectionManager</a>.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="a00019.html" title="Module to control the channel and handle all connection related stuff.">BaseConnectionManager</a> itself keeps a list of <a class="el" href="a00159.html" title="NicEntry is used by ConnectionManager to store the necessary information for each nic...">NicEntry</a> objects for every NIC in the simulation. The <a class="el" href="a00159.html" title="NicEntry is used by ConnectionManager to store the necessary information for each nic...">NicEntry</a> further has a pointer to its NIC as well as a list of pointers to the NicEntries of the NICs which are in range of this NicEntries NIC.</p>
<p>The information of NICs in range of each other is updated by <a class="el" href="a00019.html" title="Module to control the channel and handle all connection related stuff.">BaseConnectionManager</a> every time a host moves.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="a00052.html" title="BaseConnectionManager implementation which only defines a specific max interference distance...">ConnectionManager</a> subclasses from BaseConenctionManager and decides if two NICs are in range of each other by calculating the maximum transmission distance given a certain sensitivity, transmission power and a number of path loss coefficients.</p>
